W represents the ing or bushing arranged within the discharge pipe above the straining chamber V and provided at its lower end with an enlargement or head wA which is arranged in said straining chamber A and wardly facing f shoulder w1 against the top of said straining chamber. This bushing is preferably held in place by a set screw engaging with the sameand arranged in the dischargepipe.

representsan upwardly tapering ejector nozzle which is arranged centrally in the straining chamber and provided with. an external annular flange y which is secured by a screw joint tothe lower end of said straining chamber.' The upper end of the ejector nozzle projects into the downwardly ilaring lower part Le of the bore of the bushing and its lower end is secured by a screw joint with the adjacent upwardly turned end of the return bend c.-

' When the controlling Valve is opened, the pressure Water or other pressure medium passes upwardly through the ejector nozzle into the bushing in the for'm of a jet, there- Vby creatinga suction whereby the water is drawn from the Well through the perforated straining chamber and ejected upwardly through the bushing and from the upper end of the discharge pipe to a sewer oi' other lace.' p The body and head of the bushing are constructed of wood so as to prevent scale, lime or dirt from solidifying 'therein and clogging the same. If any material accumulates in the ejector bushing and inter'- tubular body of a linj forms an up-. which bears,

[ feres with its operation, the same can `be easily removed lcleaned and replaced without liability of Vinjuring the saine, .inasmuch as the solid impurities do not clin bushing on account or its being made of wood, thereby permittin l state of efciency. l

It has been foundby experience that if f the waterjremoved from a weil in a cellar by l the ejecting device is conducted thro metal suction or outlet pipetas is usually the case, the cement or lime in the water adheres lto the bore of this pipe and clogs the same. To prevent this, it has been proposed vto line the outlet suction pipe v C with glass which overcomes the tendencyl to clog but is objectionable on account of' its liability to break. A lining of wood for the outlet or suction pipe, as proposed in the present case, not only prevents clogging but also is not liable to break by ordinary use.

I claim as my invention:

A draining device comprising an upright discharge pipe, an enlarged straining chamber vconnected with the lower end 'of said discharge pipe with perforations, a tubular bushing of wood having a comparativel narrow upper part arranged in said discharge pi e and an` enlarged lower part arranged in said chamber and having the(l lower part of its passage `flared idownwardlyl, and` an ejector nozzle arranged centra GEORGE j W'itnesses: Trino.
